Despite some anticipation, there were no big lucky swings or surprises for the Golden State Warriors on the day of the NBA draft lottery. Yet, for the first time since 2021, the Warriors will be drafting in the lottery, just outside the top-10. Just as they were projected, the Warriors landed with the No. 11 overall selection on Sunday evening with assistant general manager Larry Harris in the building representing the franchise in Chicago. Although they weren't able to miraculously jump towards the top of the draft, the Warriors will still have the chance to land a top prospect in a loaded draft class highlighted by a decorated freshman class. The Warriors are now set to make their highest draft pick since selecting Jonathan Kuminga at No. 7 overall in the 2021 NBA draft. Here's a look at what fans and analysts were saying on social media after the Warriors tabbed with the No. 11 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft.
